ELIJAH A. PARKS, OF SOUTH BEND, ARKANSAS.

COMBINATION-TOOL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 266,193, dated October17, 1882.

Application filed May 2, 1882. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIJAH A. PARKS, of South Bend, in the county ofLincoln and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and ImprovedCombination-Too], of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

The invention consists in a metal plate or strip having one end beveledto form a screwdriver, having notches in one edge for bending saw-teethor breaking glass, having the upper end of this edge beveled andprovided with gage studs or projections to be used as a gage for theinclination of saw-teeth, having a glass-cutting roller journaled in oneedge, and having a recess in one end, which forms a sharpened andpointed prong to be used as a can-opener.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming p artot'this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal view of my improved combination-tool. Fig. 2is a crosssectional view otthe same on theline x a Fig.1.

A longitudinal plate or strip, A, of metal is tapered toward one end andsharpened to form a screw-driver, B. In one longitudinal edge one ormore notches or recesses, U, are provided, which can be used for bendingsawteeth or other metal edges, or for breaking glass. This samelongitudinal edge is provided with a bevel, D, at the end of the strip Aopposite the one at which the screw-driver B is formed, and from thisbeveled edge a series of small studs, E, project. If the longitudinaledge is placed against the side of a saw, the beveled edge I) can beused as a gage for the side inclination of the saw-teeth, the studs Et'ormin g gages for the different lengths of the saw-teeth. In the endedge opposite the one forming the screw-driver B a small sharp-edgedsteel roller, F, is journaled, which has its inner edge sharpened, whichprong can be used as a can-opener,or for similar purpOStS.

The above-described coinbinationtool is very simple in construction, iscompact, combines very useful implements, and can be convenientlycarried in a pocket.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- 1. A combination-tool made substantially asherein shown and described, and consisting of a plate or strip of metal,A, having one end pointed to form a screw-driver, B, having notches (Jin one edge, and having one edge beveled and provided with projectionsE, thereby forming a gage for the inclination of sawteeth, as set forth.

2. in a combination-tool, the strip or plate of metal A, having one endbeveled to form a screw-driver, B, and having notches O in one edge,having the end of thisedge beveled and provided with projections E, andprovided in one end with a recess, G, forming a sharpened prong, H, tobe used as a can-opener, substantially as herein shown and described,and for the purpose set forth.
